Trump wants Israel to take the punch and not punch back at Iran

Upon learning that Iran, unprovoked, fired missiles at Israel, President Trump said: I’m calling Netanyahu ‘right now… to tell him not to retaliate’ for Iran’s missile attacks."

Thankfully there were no reports of injury or damage after ten missiles were fired at the Jewish state. Trump, ever the deal-maker, said he doesn't want the Iran deal to get "blown up." He also said that he isn't happy that Israel targeted Hezbollah in Beirut earlier.

The Transportation Ministry says that buses around the country will operate at 75% of their usual activity today amid renewed missile attacks from Iran and the cancellation of schools.

The ministry says that, in accordance with Home Front Command instructions, the light rails in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv as well as the Israeli Railways train system will operate as usual.

Schools will also be closed tomorrow.

According to Hebrew media outlets, underground light rail stations in central Israel will remain open overnight for those who want to use them as bomb shelters.

After Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s phone conversation with US President Donald Trump ended,, the premier held a discussion with top security officials, according to Hebrew media reports.

Trump said earlier that he'd call Netanyahu to tell him not to retaliate against Iran’s ballistic missile attacks on the north as Washington aims for a deal with Tehran, after Israeli officials vowed a strong response to the attacks.

Following Iran’s ballistic missile attacks on Israel, the Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories says crossings with the Gaza Strip will remain closed until further notice.

As much as I like most of what President Trump has done and is doing, I cannot understand how he would want Israel to be attacked, whether successfully or not, and stand by doing nothing. Israel has the absolute right to defend itself. I know if the shoe were on the other foot, aka the missiles in the other country, ours, President Trump would retaliate with shock and freaking awe.

Louisiana Lt. Gov. ciriticized New Orleans Mayor following truck ramming attack on Bourbon Street

Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser

In a pointed yet honest critique of local governance, Louisiana Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser has publicly chastised New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell in the wake of the tragic incident on Bourbon Street. The attack, which occurred in the early hours of New Year's Day, resulted in the deaths of at least 14 individuals, not including the ISIS-inspired attacker, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who was killed in a gun-battle with police.

Nungesser, speaking to various local news sources, expressed his dissatisfaction with the city's handling of the situation, particularly focusing on the absence of security measures. "I've held my tongue long enough," he stated regarding Mayor Cantrell. "Her lack of leadership is an embarrassment." 

                                                       Shamsud-Din Jabbar

He further elaborated his frustration in an interview with 4WWL, saying, "I'm a little angry at the fact that some things in that French Quarter we've been trying to do for years have not gotten done."

As the state's chief tourism official, Nungesser has advocated for increased state oversight over the French Quarter, a move reflecting his broader concerns about the management and safety of this bustling, iconic district. His remarks come at a time when the efficacy of local leadership is under scrutiny, especially in light of security failures and the veritable clusterfrack that allowed 

However, in response to Nungesser's criticisms, Mayor Cantrell's office has attempted to steer the narrative towards unity and recovery rather than blame. Kourtney Williams, Deputy Press Secretary for Cantrell, issued a statement saying, "The City of New Orleans will not be distracted by outside commentary and welcomes everyone to join the positive efforts of the unified command partners." This response suggests a desire to focus on constructive actions rather than engage in political sparring in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy.

The dialogue between these two officials underscores not only the immediate political tension but also raises broader questions about leadership, security, and the division of responsibilities between state and local governance in crisis management

Islamic terrorists stab husband, wife to death and injure 2 others

An elderly couple was murdered and two others injured in the central city of Holon. The elderly couple was having their morning workout when the stabbing attack occurred Sunday morning at around 7:30 a.m. local time.

The Arab from the Palestinian Authority who was illegally living in Israel, drew a knife and stabbed the four people at a public park.

The stabbings occurred at three different locations, beginning at the park on Moshe Dayan Street, where the terrorist fatally wounded a 66-year-old woman and seriously wounded her 69-year-old husband. The scumbag then continued down Moshe Dayan Street [Dayan was the guy with an eye patch] and stabbed a third victim, then a fourth on Dan Shomron Street near the Egged bus depot.

Two of the victims, an 80-year-old man and a 66-year-old woman, were murdered in the attack.

A third victim, a 69-year-old man – the husband of the slain woman, was seriously wounded, while a fourth victim, a 28-year-old man, is listed in moderate condition.

Emergency first responders from United Hatzalah and Magen David Adom were dispatched to the scene to treat the wounded before evacuating them to Wolfson Medical Center in Holon.

Security forces arrived on the scene and killed the attacker, Amar Razak Kamel Odeh, 34, a native of the Palestinian Authority town of Salfit in Samaria. He was illegally residing in Israel.

“When we arrived at the scene, witnesses reported two individuals, a man and a woman, in critical condition within the local dog park,” relayed United Hatzalah first responders Shmuel Meshulam and Alon Agai.

“Unfortunately, we had to pronounce the death of the woman, estimated to be in her sixties, due to the severity of her injuries. The male victim, around 70 years old, was rushed to Wolfson Hospital in critical condition.”

“We located a third victim in his sixties near the gas station on Moshe Dayan Street, in serious condition. Additionally, a 26-year-old man was found at the entrance of the Egged bus company parking lot on Dan Shomron Street. He was conscious but suffering from stab wounds, and his condition is currently assessed as moderate.”

Israel Under Attack by Iran: latest information

On Saturday night into early Sunday morning, Israel was the target of over 350 Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-fired weapons. These weapons included rockets, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), and special missiles such as Cruise missiles.

The initial estimated totals of some of these weapons are 185 UAVs., 36 Cruise missiles, and 110 ballistic missiles. However, the number of weapons has grown and some of Israel's defense systems were tested for the first time under real fire.

Zero UAVs and Cruise missiles reached Israel while a handful of ballistic missiles did, injuring a 7-year-old girl and damaging an IAF base in Negev. The child is in the hospital in intensive care and the attack on the air base did not cause operations on the base to stop.

Due to the distance between Iran and Israel, it takes about two hours for a UAV to reach the Jewish State as they are slow moving and when spotted, sitting suicide ducks. Most were destroyed over Jordan, Iraq, and Syria, by the U.S., Israeli, UK, French and Saudi Arabia.

Iran has switched to a deadlier drone known as the Sahab 238, replacing the 136 model used by the Russians against Ukraine. The 238 is faster but it turned out to be no match for Israel's newest air defense systems known as David's Sling and Arrow. Both systems were tested in combat for the first time and did a great job of dashing Iran's hopes of killing Jews.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said of the attack by Iran, "We intercepted; we stopped it, we will win."

Israel's war cabinet will be meeting to discuss future plans in the war.

President Biden called for a G7 conference call to discuss whatever his handler tells him to discuss and will be written out for him on official White House index cards. The nations include, UK, U.S., France, Japan, Germany, Italy, and even Canada, eh.

While it may surprise some that Jordan and the Saudis helped Israel in the attack by Iran, both Turkey and Qatar asked for restraint by the Shi'a nation. 

Am Yisrael Chai!

Bipartisan lawmakers give strong warning to Biden amid Iran attack

Republican and Democrat lawmakers were quite vocal with alleged President Joe Biden after Iran, in an unprecedented event, attacked Israel with dozens of drones on Saturday. Since then, Iran has fired over 350 weapons aimed toward Israel, in which 99% of them were destroyed.

Biden's brilliant response to Iran a day before they launched the attack was "don't." This caused the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khomeini to quake in his winter lungi. Not.

Biden is as intimidating as the character Bernie from "Weekend at Bernie's." World leaders not only fail to see him as a convincing threat, they tend to see him as barely sentient and often incontinent.

After Iran's attack, Republicans criticized him for his impotent global policies.

For starters, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) blamed the Biden Administration, saying that Biden’s lack of threat toward Iran aggravated the country's attack.

Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) stated that Biden drives the U.S. towards WWIII, adding that Americans need Trump back in office more than ever.

And GOP firebrand Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz pointed out important differences concerning U.S. foreign policy between the Trump and Biden administrations. (Guess who's the one that earns global respect, or at least fear.)

Former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn blamed the Biden Administration for the attack, saying that D.C. Democrats are funding the attacks on foreign countries.

And let's not forget that Biden handed Iran a big sack of money, which he hope will feed Iran's hungry LGBTQ community.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) did not hold back on his thoughts either as Israel braced for an attack.

“Iran has encircled Israel and has been attacking our Israeli allies from almost every front for months. They have launched attacks from Syria, Iraq, Yemen, the West Bank, Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon, and of course the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. Now they have escalated by launching attacks directly from Iranian territory," Cruz said in a statement. "These attacks are enabled and financed by deliberate policy choices made by Joe Biden and Biden officials, who have allowed roughly $100 billion to flow to Iran since 2021. Americans and Israelis have been made catastrophically more vulnerable by these policies."

So the attack happened and Israel's military defense along with the help of the U.S., UK, France, Jordan and the Saudis, pushed Iran back over 10 yards with fourth down coming up.

Suspected car ramming 'terror attack' injures 7 in Israel

A 23-year-old Muslim jihadi from "Palestine" was in Tel Aviv on a medical permit because Israel will treat anyone in medical need, including Muslims. Not so much vice-versa. He drove his vehicle up onto the sidewalk with the intent of killing as many Jews as he could. He got out of the car, brandished a knife, and began systematically stabbing people, according to police

Multiple people were wounded in what is described as a vehicular terror attack in Israel on Tuesday.

"We understand that he was alone, and we have no doubt that this was an attack," said Tel Aviv Police District Commander Ami Eshed, according to Haaretz, a left-leaning liberal tabloid.

"[Police] are taking action to find out if the assailant was accompanied by anyone else. This is a difficult event but currently the situation is stable," the officer added.

Officials identified the assailant, an anti-Semitic terrorist reportedly from the Palestinian village of Samua, near Hebron, according to Tazpit Press Service. He was reportedly shot and killed by a civilian bystander at the scene of the attack and is now descending into the bowels of hell where he will get 72 virgins, and young boys to tend to him.

Officials report that seven individuals suffered injuries, including one 46-year-old woman who was evacuated to a nearby hospital with severe stab wounds. Terrorist are cowards who like to stab women and children because they offer less defense in most cases.

Hamassholes released a statement calling the attack the "first response" to Israeli military operations in the West Bank.

"The heroic action in Tel Aviv is the first response to Israel's crimes against our people in the Jenin refugee camp. As the [Palestinian] resistance has already put it – Israel will pay the price for its crimes," Hamasshole spokes-coward Hazem Kassem said, according to a report from Haaretz. Obviously Kassem never read the Old Testament that shows the Jews lived in Israel before Mohammed killed his first Jew.

The Israeli military deployed thousands of troops and drones in an attack on a Palestinian militant stronghold in the West Bank on Sunday night and expect the nearly 2,000 IDF troops to remain in Jenin for up to 48 hours after launching the operation.

The IDF says they searched lower floors of the mosque where militants had barricaded themselves and "located two pits that contained explosive devices, weapons and military equipment affiliated with the terrorist organizations." They see killing Jews as a religious mandate--it's in the Qur'an.

Palestinian officials say at least eight Hamassholes were killed and 50  were wounded in the attack, which was larger than any operation Israel has carried out this year.

Jenin has been a snakepit of Palestinian terrorist activity for months, with Iranian-backed militants carrying out attacks within Israel.

But they hate it when the Jews fight back.

Matt Gaetz attacked by Democrat in Florida

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) was attending an event that he was involved with in Miramar Beach on Saturday with his wife, when he was attacked by a Democratic woman. 

The Walton County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the report on Tuesday afternoon, saying in a statement that officers “responded to an incident at an event in Miramar Beach Saturday involving Representative Matt Gaetz.”

[Meanwhile, Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Comatose (Socialist-NY) is making public claims that it's Republicans who instigate violence--a very dangerous thing to say.]

“A 41-year-old Tallahassee woman, Selena Chambers, was arrested after it was found she intentionally threw a glass of wine at Representative Gaetz after shouting obscenities at him,” police said. “She was charged with battery on an elected official and issued a $1,000 bond. She was released the following day.”

The face of the Left

Gaetz said in a statement that Chambers is a “registered Democrat and self-described member of the ‘Resistance.’” 

“I will never allow the safety of Northwest Floridians to be compromised,” Gaetz said. “I will be pressing charges against this individual in order to uphold the civility our community deserves. Thank you to the Walton County Sheriff’s office for taking swift action.”

Lee Zeldin attacker revolving door release thanks to leftist policies

While giving a stump speech in Perinton, New York, Republican candidate for governor, Lee Zeldin was assaulted by a man with a "sharp object" Thursday evening. He was charged with a felony and was set free within hours of his arrest, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Department. 

Zeldin correctly predicted the attacker, identified as David G. Jakubonis, 43, of Fairport, NY, would be released after being charged with attempted assault of the second degree.

Jakubonis [pronounced 'Jackass"] was arraigned in Perinton Town Court, not far from the local McDonalds.

"His words as he tried to stab me a few hours ago were ‘you’re done’, but several attendees, including @EspositoforNY, quickly jumped into action & tackled the guy," Zeldin tweeted early Friday. "Law enforcement was on the scene within minutes. The attacker will likely be instantly released under NY’s laws."

Because NY's laws are instituted by the Left who have been in power since 2006.

Zeldin was giving a speech about bail reform at a Veterans of Foreign Wars post when the alleged assault happened. 

Jakubonis was tackled by AMVETS national Director Joe Chenelly, according to witnesses.

"His right hand came up, I assume out of his pocket, and he had a blade on his hand," Chenelly told Fox News Digital. "His fingers were like two finger holes in the blade and lunged at the congressman. And Congressman Zeldin blocked the first lunge. And then as he tried to lunge again, I grabbed him from behind and tackled him down to the ground and held him on the ground," Chenelly said.

Zeldin released a statement after the attack that said: "Thank you to everyone who reached out following tonight’s attack in Fairport. Someone tried to stab me on stage during this evening’s rally, but fortunately, I was able to grab his wrist and stop him for a few moments until others tackled him. I’m ok, and @EspositoforNY, and all other attendees are safe. The attacker is in custody. Grateful for the attendees who stepped up quickly to assist and the law enforcement officers who quickly responded. I’m as resolute as ever to do my part to make NY safe again."

So the custody looks more perfunctory than effective.

Suicide by Semper Fi: attacks Marines with knife

A lunatic with a knife was shot and killed on Friday when he tried to enter a gate checkpoint at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, California. 

The driver, rather than going out and looting stores in California, attempted to enter the base through Gate 5 and was stopped by Marine personnel. He got out of the vehicle and came at the guards with a knife, and ignored warnings from personnel to stop. He refused to obey the commands and was shot dead.

“Base personnel issued verbal commands to stop the vehicle at which point the individual exited their vehicle and approached with a knife and hostile intent. After several warnings the individual was shot by base personnel,” Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego said in a statement provided to American Military News.

“Emergency services were called and the individual was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:16 p.m.,” the statement added.

Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) are investigating the incident. The individual’s motive or possible connection to the base are not yet known and no "Allahu akbars" were reportedly screamed.

NCIS released a statement that said, “Out of respect for the ongoing investigative process, at this time we are not able to provide additional details.”

Muslim man arrested: suspect in anti-Semitic attack in New York's Time Square

A man was arrested and his cohorts are being sought involving an obviously anti-Semitic attack on a Jewish man in Times Square in Manhattan. In spite of this being an apparent anti-Semitic crime, some politicians are uncharacteristically paying attention. The crime á la mode has been anti-Asian assaults so it's interesting that politicians are giving anti-Semitic crime a second look in spite of it being disproportionately the highest hate crime in the nation. And police are investigating this attack as such.

The attack occurred on Thursday and was caught on video and shared on social media. It came following pro-Israel and pro-Hamasshole demonstrations in midtown Manhattan over the conflict in Gaza. 

The cease fire, or 'intermission' came a few hours later but 26 arrests were made.

The 29-year-old man was attacked for being Jewish a short time after the demonstrations and was taken to a hospital where he was in stable condition, Sergeant Jessica McRorie, a police spokeswoman, said. The victim's name was not released in concern the Hamasshole supporters would track him and his family down for being Jewish and kill them.

"The victim was approached by a group of five or six males who knocked him to the ground, assaulted him while making anti-Semitic statements," McRorie said by phone. "They punched, kicked, pepper-sprayed and hit him with some crutches during the assault."

They are what is known as crap weasel cowards.

The man who was arrested was identified as Waseem Awawdeh, who police said used a crutch in the early evening assault. It's possible Awawdeh stole the crutch from a disabled person but he refused to say.

Awawdeh arrested

He faces charges of second-degree hate crime assault, a second-degree gang assault, menacing and criminal possession of a weapon. If convicted, he faces up to three hours in custody under New York City's no bail, no problem rules.

A video of the incident showed a person striking a man on the ground with a crutch and fleeing as other attackers also did. The victim got up about a minute later and tried to pursue his attackers but was restrained by police. You gotta give him credit, though.

The New York Police Department's Hate Crime Task Force said it was investigating the assault as they search for reasons why anyone would attack a lone Jewish man on the streets of New York. Hmm.

New York Governor Andrew "Hi Toots" Cuomo said in a statement that he was [reluctantly] dispatching the State Police Hate Crimes Task Force to assist.

Cuomo and several other useless officials, including Mayor Bill de Blasio and U.S. Representative Jerry Nadler, whose district includes the Times Square restaurants area, condemned what Cuomo called "anti-Semitic violent gang harassment and intimidation." 

Meanwhile back at the front, the cease fire has held longer than a cab ride from Brooklyn to the Bronx, so maybe it'll last a little while longer. But it ain't over, folks.

 wrote. “I have been struck since my first day on the campaign trail back in 2018 by the overwhelming whiteness and maleness of Chicago media outlets, editorial boards, the political press corps, and yes, the City Hall press corps specifically.”

“If I as the black woman mayor, the first-ever, don’t challenge us, the collective us, to do better, to really make sure that in every institution it reflects the diversity, nuance, and texture, then shame on me,” Lightfoot continued.

“This isn’t my job. It shouldn’t be,” she wrote. “I don’t have time for it. But as with so many festering problems, it has only gotten worse with time. So here I am, like so many other Black women before me, having to call your attention to this problem.”

Lightfoot went further, taking to Twitter early Thursday morning to defend her policy in a series of posts.

“I ran to break up the status quo that was failing so many,” Lightfoot tweeted. “That isn’t just in City Hall. It’s a shame that in 2021, the City Hall press corps is overwhelmingly White in a city where more than half of the city identifies as Black, Latino, AAPI, or Native American.”

“Diversity and inclusion is imperative across all institutions including media. In order to progress we must change,” she continued. “This is exactly why I’m being intentional about prioritizing media requests from POC reporters on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of my inauguration as mayor of this great city.”

Critics blasted Lightfoot’s decision from all sides Wednesday. Beyond the journalists who noted that they were shut out by the policy limiting interviews, Lightfoot faced criticism from a Latino news organization, which refused to interview the mayor after she refused to lift the moratorium on white journalists, per Fox News.

She also faced blowback on Twitter, where racial justice advocates suggested that Lightfoot was likely using the policy to distract from her inability to handle questions of violence. “Lori Lightfoot presided over an enormous increase in homicides, almost all of them in African American or Latino communities, and she’s hoping these PR stunts get liberal America to give her a pass for failing to save people’s lives,” journalist Zaid Jilani pointed out.

Indeed, on the same day that the mayor’s office announced the policy favoring “black and brown” reporters, Lightfoot aides announced that “a compromise plan to make past police disciplinary records available to the public,” essentially turning down a request from Chicago’s racial justice activists to expand police transparency.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Determines Who Interviews Her Based On Race, Local Reporters Claim

Local media reporters in Chicago are alleging that Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is selecting who gets to do one-on-one interviews with her based on the race of the interviewer.

NBC 5 political reporter Mary Ann Ahern made the initial allegation on Twitter, writing: “As ⁦ @chicagosmayor ⁩ reaches her two year midway point as mayor, her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews – only to Black or Brown journalists.”

Chicago PBS news anchor Paris Schultz responded: “I was told the same thing.”


I was told the same thing.

— Paris Schutz (@paschutz)

Chicago PBS political reporter said that she could “confirm” what Ahern was alleging.


I can confirm, alderman

Lightfoot’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire or Fox News.

Australian political commentator Rita Panahi responded to the allegations by writing on Twitter: “More ‘anti-racist’ racism. Almost amusing how regressive race-obsession is celebrated among the Left.”

“Racism in the name of wokeism is still racism,” another commentator said. Another added, “So wouldn’t that make her a racist?”

Progressive writer Zaid Jilani wrote: “Is she going to do some kinda DNA test to assure she upholds this rule?”


Is she going to do some kinda DNA test to assure she upholds this rule? https://t.co/9d7rXZTnCV

— Zaid Jilani (@ZaidJilani) May 19, 2021

“It is unclear when such a practice was enacted and if it only applies to local reporters, particularly after her MSNBC appearance with Stephanie Ruhle on Monday,” Fox News reported. “During her MSNBC interview, Lightfoot told Ruhle she would ‘encourage’ Chicago residents to continue wearing masks despite the new CDC guidance allowing those with the coronavirus vaccine to go without them.”

“I know for me personally, I’m going to continue to wear a mask in public and I’m going to encourage others to do so,” Lightfoot told Ruhle. “We’ve got to make sure that people are continuing to follow the public health guidance that has gotten us this far, and masks, I think, are a big and important part of that.”

Lightfoot said on Tuesday afternoon that her decision to continue to encourage people to wear masks was not based on distrust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“But I think their guidance last week regarding masks has people confused…We need clarification,” Lightfoot said. “We still have a long way to go to hit the critical mass (of vaccinations) or herd immunity. I don’t want people to have false confidence.”

“To say, ‘If you’re vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask,’ that’s great. But what about all of the other people who are out there that aren’t vaccinated?” Lightfoot added. “There’s no way to know that. So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear masks outside of their homes.”

Young Jewish family from Belgium attacked by parolee with knife in lower Manhattan

A young Hasidic couple, ages 22 and 24, and their one-year-old baby, came from Belgium to visit New York City and were attacked by an ex-convict with a knife near Battery Park in lower Manhattan.

The father bravely fought off the attacker and suffered injuries to his head that needed a dozen stitches according to BoroPark24, a local news site. His wife suffered cuts to her lip and the baby was cut on his chin by the human pile of excrement who was on parole for attempted murder. 

The alleged scumbag was arrested and charged with assault and possession of a weapon, among other counts.

We can thank the Democrats for the fact that the slasher was out on the street and that the city has adopted anti-police/pro-scumbag policies enacted by Gov. Cuomo and comrade Mayor de Blasio.

No mention in press reports of the family’s visible Judaism but the NYPD said the attack was considered a "possible bias incident." The NY Hate Crime Task Force is also investigating why a lunatic with a knife would attack a Jewish family dressed in formal Hasidic garb and forget to yell anti-semitic slogans. 

Perhaps we should ask members of the Democratic Party such as Ilhan Omar, AOC or Rashida Tlaib. 

The woke are anti-Semitic among other nasty things.

Smollett tries victim ploy: 'untreated drug problem'

It looks as if Jussie Smollett is going for an intersectional defense in his "hate hoax" debacle which tried to convince people he was a victim of a homophobic and racial hate attack by 2 white guys wearing MAGA hats.  Now he's claiming to have an untreated drug problem, like a huge percent of Hollywood actors.

He allegedly told police on Thursday when he turned himself in, about his drug problem, and is apparently hoping that the story works to keep him out of prison.

TMZ reports that Smollett, a black, gay, mediocre actor with a hate in his heart for President Trump and apparently white men [he was willing to testify against innocent white men if they were apprehended in the area of the "crime"] told police that "on several occasions," had obtained drugs from one of his buddies he used to "attack" him.

He is hoping the drug ploy will help to get his sentence reduced, unless, of course, it is discovered that he sent himself the letter with crushed Tylenol to make it appear to be a deadly substance. That would be a federal crime and more serious in nature than the current felony charge.

"Jussie told police, during his arrest, he has a drug problem ... one for which he's never been treated," TMZ reported updating their report on Smollett's charges Thursday. "That could become relevant later in the case because, as we reported, cops say Jussie bought ecstasy from Abel. IF he were convicted, a drug issue could be a mitigating factor that gets his sentenced reduced." TMZ also notes that Smollett said "answered 'no' to alcohol or mental health problems."

The case was made rather easy for police because Smollett allegedly paid the two brothers he hired to "attack" him with a personal check. It isn't clear if he wrote in the notation section of the check: "For homophobic/racist attack," but he might as well have, the idiot.

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

BREAKING: car plows into 'crowd of 100 children and teachers' in Sweden

Sweden -- Police are hunting for a driver who plowed a car into a crowd of school children and teachers on a walk near Karlshamn, in Sweden. A manhunt for the driver is now underway.

A spokesman for Sweden's police service described the scene in which the children "threw themselves" out of the path of the car, which clearly appeared to be aiming for the group of 100 students and 10 teachers from Mjallby secondary school. They were walking from Hinnedalsvagen to Grundsjon as part of a social event.

"The car accelerated into the group of students and teachers," the spokesman said. "The car increased speed and drove straight towards them.

"He drove into two of the students. One was injured on the wrist and possibly the other student was also injured."

The car was described as a black or dark blue Saab and going about 25 mph when it hit the crowd at around 1 p.m. local time. The driver fled the scene, police said, and they are appealing to the public for any information.

No "Allahu akbar" screams were heard coming from inside the vehicle, but this is a developing story and the likelihood of such a religious occurrence is not out of the question.

In the aftermath of UK attack: what we know

UPDATE: The attacker was known to British counter-terrorism intelligence. His name is Khalid Masood, 52, and he was on the terror watch list, which was totally ineffective in stopping him.

After the attack, at least 7 others were arrested in connection with it. 

London -- The attack on Westminster Bridge by the U.K. Parliament and the attack that followed, injured over 40 people and now, a fifth person has died, including a police officer.

British Prime Minister Theresa May described the attack as "sick and depraved." I call the attack "religiously orthodox and jihad inspired." 

Acting Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner Mark Rowley, who also heads Counter Terrorism said there was only one attacker who authorities believe was "inspired by international terrorism."

I say he was inspired by the Koran and the global Islamist movement to create a world caliphate under sharia.

Rowley said three civilians were among those killed along with one London police officer, Keith Palmer, 48, and the Muslim jihadist whose name has not been released yet for obvious reasons, although he said it was too early to release his name, but that officials "think we know who the attacker is and are working to establish who his associates are."

"One of those who died was a police officer from our Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command who had 15 years service," he said.

ISIS still has not claimed responsibility for the attack but investigators are considering the possibility that it was inspired by ISIS propaganda in the form of the Koran quotes and online videos.

A witness, Rick Longley told the Press Association he heard a big bang and saw a car plow into pedestrians and come to a crashing stop. 

"They were just laying there and then the whole crowd just surged around the corner by the gates just opposite Big Ben," he said. "A guy came past my right shoulder with a big knife and just started plunging it into the policeman. I have never seen anything like that. I just can't believe what I just saw."

"The thoughts of the PM and the government are with those killed and injured in this appalling incident, and with their families," PM May's office said in a statement. And in an address to the nation outside 10 Downing Street, May praised the "exceptional bravery" of police, and thanked them "on behalf of the whole country."

May added that it wasn't an accident the attacker chose Parliament, but her logic was slightly off--she said he chose it because it stands for democracy, freedom and rule of law. I think it was also chosen because ISIS suggests these types of locales for attacks. Even if it wasn't ISIS-inspired, this is the thinking of many terrorist groups.

President Trump is continuing to monitor developments out of London and the White House condemned the attacks, which is a good thing to condemn. 

The White House also said Mr. Trump "pledged the full cooperation and support of the United States Government in responding to the attack and bringing those responsible to justice."

Spokesman for the U.S. State Department said "We stand ready to assist in any way the U.K. authorities would find helpful." He also added the cliche: "Our hearts go out to those affected."

Katie Hopkins, a conservative British journalist, appeared on Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight and stated that she sees the U.K. as a "nation of ghettos," and feels the British are losing the country they love in the name of multiculturalism which places other cultures above their own.

Over the past four years, British security has thwarted about 13 terror plots and until Wednesday, has mainly been spared major international terror attacks like the ones in France and Belgium.

But London is a liberal city whose Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, is not going to make big changes to protect the ignorant liberals in his city. Until this changes, it's only going to get worse.

Germany: mall closed after receiving threat of attack

Essen, West Germany -- Police ordered a large shopping mall closed Saturday after receiving credible tips of an imminent Amish attack.

Well maybe not Amish, but an attack nevertheless. 

Approximately one hundred police officers got into position around the area to ensure that nobody could enter the mall and several cops searched inside the mall to remove early morning cleaning staff.

"As police, we are the security authority here and have decided to close the mall," police spokesman Christoph Wickhorst said. The tip came late Friday by other security agencies he added, however, he did not want to provide further details due to the ongoing investigation.

The entire downtown mall at Limbecker Platz Square will remain closed all day. It's one of the largest malls in Germany, according to its website, with more than 200 stores, although it lacks an "Untucket" outlet.

Last year, radicalized German-born Muslims injured three Sikhs at a temple in Essen.

On Thursday, a mentally disturbed man attacked travelers with an ax at a train station in Dusseldorf. He injured seven infidels before he was captured.

Last July, a 17-year-old Afghan refugee injured five people on a train in Wurzburg before he was killed by police. It was later found that he had done a video where he claimed to be acting on behalf of ISIS.

IS takes credit for Istanbul nightclub massacre

The Islamic State took credit on Monday for a New Year's shooting attack at an Istanbul nightclub that killed 39 and wounded almost 70 others. The gunman is still at large and is being hunted by authorities.

IS said via its Aamaq News Agency that the killing spree was carried out by a "heroic soldier of the caliphate who attacked the most famous nightclub where Christians were celebrating their pagan feast." 

And they should know about pagan celebrations because their holy site, the Hajj, is a pagan shrine confiscated by Islamic terrorists back in the day when their so-called prophet was on his own killing spree.

Turkish authorities think the gunman came from either Uzbekistan or Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia, or possibly some other area that is difficult to spell.

There are similarities with the suicide bomb and gun attack at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport in June and police are trying to establish whether this recent attack may have come from the same ISIS cell.

The gunman killed a policeman and another man outside the Reina club just after midnight, Sunday morning. About 600 normal people were partying inside when the scumcrumpet began firing at them with an automatic rifle.

"Unfortunately, [he] rained bullets in a very cruel and merciless way on innocent people who were there to celebrate New Year's and have fun," Istanbul Gov. Vasip Sahin told the press.

What people need to understand is that ISIS doesn't see non-Muslims, or "non-religious" Muslims [that is, Muslims who believe exactly as they do] as 'innocent,' and they must convert to their form of Islam or be killed.

Most of the victims were foreigners, many from the Middle East, according to state-run Anadolu Agency.

In 2016, there had been over 30 jihadist attacks in Turkey, a partner in the coalition fighting ISIS in Syria and Iraq. There were three attacks in Istanbul alone and a failed coup attempt in July along with a renewed conflict with the Kurds in the southeast.

Turkey President Erdogan condemned "the terror attack in Istanbul's Ortakoy neighborhood in the first hours of 2017" and offered condolences for those who lost their lives, including the "foreign guests."

A U.S. State Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, because he or she has been known to spread office gossip, said one American man was among the wounded.

The attacker left a gun at the club and escaped in the confusion and chaos that took place. he remains on the run.

The White House pulled out their "cheat sheet" to condemn the attack, calling it horrific and offered U.S. help to Turkey, as if we have an idea of what to do, when we can't even call it "Islamic extremism" or "Islamic jihad."

The U.N. Security Council condemned the "heinous and barbaric assault in the "strongest terms," designed to scare the crap out of people who use guns, fire and blades, rather than strong words.

I'm sure they see us as weak infidels who deserve to die.

OSU jihad attacker: "Somali refugee student"??

DEVELOPING: At least 9 people were injured Monday morning after a man, some say was a Somali refugee student, drove a vehicle into a crowd of students at Ohio State University. He then exited the vehicle and began attacking people with a butcher knife before he was shot and killed by a campus police officer.

State Police Chief Craig Stone said the attacker purposely drove over the curb into pedestrians.

The attack, which began around 9:52 a.m., took place in front of Watts Hall, where the Department of Materials Science and Engineering are located, said Monica Moll, of the Ohio State University Department of Public Safety. 

Moll said that "injuries were minimized" due to the rapid reaction of campus police. 

Injuries included stab wounds and vehicular wounds. It is believed that one person is in critical condition.

The school initially had everyone shelter in place but the all clear was given at around 11:30 a.m. and declared the "scene is now secure."

Jerry Kovacich, a student in welding engineering, told the school paper, The Lantern, that he witnessed a man drive a car into a crowd of people after a fire alarm went off. After the crash, he then saw the man get out of the vehicle and begin attacking bystanders with a knife.

"The guy ended up just coming and hopping the curb with his car and trying to mow down a couple people. He lost control, and I think he ended up hitting three people, and then people were around the car. Somebody asked him if he was OK and the guy just hopped out of the car with a butcher knife and started chasing people around."

The man in the car was tentatively identified as a Somali refugee student and the attack is said to have been planned, but more information is obviously pending.

The Islamic State bragged, in 2015 that it would soon be flooding Europe with as many as half a million refugees and the Lebanese Education Minister said in September of 2015 that there were 20,000 jihadis among them in camps in Lebanon alone. 

In fact, as many as 80% of migrants who have fled to Europe claiming to be fleeing the Syrian war, aren't even from Syria.

Another fact: nine of the Islamic jihadists who killed 130 people in Paris last year in November had entered France as refugees.

One IS operative boasted in September 2015, after the influx of migrants began, that among them 4,000 jihadis had already entered Europe. "It is our dream that there should be a caliphate not only in Syria but in all the world, and we will have it soon, inshallah," he said.

We can pretend, at our own peril, that he's lying.

Monkey attack sets off human attacks in tribal clashes in Libya

Beautiful Downtown Benghazi, Libya -- According to medics and activists, last week, three young men turned a pet monkey (not named 'Bonzo') loose on a high school girl. It scratched and bit her and the girl's family sought revenge.

So they killed the three young men along with the monkey. 

Not exactly a tit for tat retaliation, but certainly a move that should have ended the situation and brought in the law to deal with the matter.

But this is Benghazi--home to homicidal tribal lunatics.

At least 20 other people were killed and 50 were wounded because that's how they deal with their anger. 

Bader al-Daheli, a civil activist said that the two main tribes in the city of Sabha, Awlad Suleiman and Gadhadhfa, aer both backed by armed groups and nobody, but nobody, walks on anyone else's lawn or allows their monkey to do any monkey business.

This type of behavior and 600 requests for more security at our Benghazi compound by Ambassador Chris Stevens should have been more than enough for any competent secretary of state to take action.

The operant word is "competent."

A man-caused disaster in Istanbul: 36 dead

Istanbul -- A man-caused disaster occurred at Ataturk Airport in which at least 3 militant types blew themselves up for no apparent reason, and killed at least 36 people and injured nearly 150 others, 6 of whom are in serious condition.

No group has taken responsibility for the carnage but it is suspected that a far right wing organization was involved, perhaps under the direction of some Christian organization.

Attacks similar to this one have occurred in the past and a small group known as ISIS claimed responsibility. ISIS claims to be a religious Islamic group but they in no way represent the religion of peace and obviously know little about this great religion.

ISIS suicide jihadists are uneducated folks who come from poor families and are easily manipulated into killing themselves just to have something to do to alleviate the boredom in their small lives. Very few jihadists can read and most are no smarter than the goats they own.

As you know, ISIS is Syria and Iraq is on the run and losing territory faster than Hillary Clinton lies. If it turns out that they are responsible for this attack, and not a Christian group, it would be due to their desperation and the willingness of their suicide bomb squad known as the Smithereens to die. 

Many of these losers think that they'll be given 72 brown-eyed virgins in Paradise. Now where did they get that idea?

Wake up call number 27,282 for now

The Commander in Chief of the United States military, Barack Hussein Obama, spoke at a press conference about the role the U.S. will play in the war against ISIS. Note, the key word here is "play," because that seems to be all we're doing against the global threat of an Islamic caliphate.

The attack that left 129 dead and over 350 wounded, 99 of whom are in serious condition, should have been a 'wake-up call' to us.

In fact, 27,282 global jihadist attacks since 911 of 2001 should have been enough wake-up calls to wake up the dead who were slaughtered in those attacks. But our president refuses to admit that he was wrong about ISIS and they are not the JV team he labeled them to be.

A setback

Rather than calling the Friday attacks on innocent civilians a slaughter, our Islamic apologist in chief called it "a setback." If his older daughter Malia had attended the Bataclan concert hall when the "Eagles of Death Metal" were performing, I suspect Obama would have seen it as anything but a setback.

"There will be setbacks and there will be successes. The terrible events in Paris were obviously a terrible and sickening setback," the so-called president said.

Just the day before the attack, he claimed that ISIS had been "contained" in Iraq and Syria. He was criticized for that and for using an anemic military strategy to deal with the situation.

If he worked for a corporation as a manager, he would have been fired long ago.

Obama said our ultimate goal with ISIS is to "degrade and ultimately destroy this barbaric terrorist organization." He would soil his Jockey shorts if he was forced to say the words 'Islamic jihad," or "Muslim jihadists." ISIS is merely one part of the whole organization: Islam. In any case, he is doing nothing that his military advisers are advising him to do, in spite of the line of bull that he's working diligently with them.

Another setback

I am now fully convinced that there is no deed so horrible, no amount of suffering or taking of human life, either here or elsewhere in the West, that will get Obama to do anything differently than he is now doing. He cares only about his egotistical legacy and that legacy will come at a great price.

In my opinion, Barack Hussein Obama is allowing ISIS to grow and I am no longer certain that he is actually concerned about that happening. It almost makes one want to become a conspiracy theorist.

Bill was impeached for being a serial sexual predator. Why is Obama getting away with murder? Isn't 27,282 murderous terrorist attacks enough to do something effective?
